South Park Locks Into Paramount Plus With $1.5B Streaming Deal
South Park fans have at least five more years of Cartman, Stan, Kyle and Kenny to look forward to. Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the creators of the long-running animated show South Park, have locked in a five-year deal to bring their show to the Paramount Plus streaming service and to give Paramount global streaming rights. As reported in the Los Angeles Times, the duo will keep making 10 episodes per year and replaces a deal that the franchise had with HBO Max and its parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery. The South Park team was locked in negotiations for months for what would have been a $3 billion, 10-year deal, according to previous reports. The deal covers only streaming rights and doesn't include merchandising or what the pair's production company Park County gets in a separate deal with Comedy Central to keep the show running on that network. The show's 27th season was delayed to July 23 because of the behind-the-scenes maneuvering involving an ongoing acquisition of Paramount by Skydance Media. The TV series began on Comedy Central in 1997. Parker and Stone will take the stage at San Diego Comic-Con the day after the show's premiere on July 24 for a panel with Saturday Night Live alum Andy Samberg and Beavis and Butt-Head creator Mike Judge.

South Park scores $1,500,000,000 deal after fans vow to cancel streaming service
If you're planning on 'goin' down to South Park,' you're going to have to renew your Paramount Plus subscription. Yes, after weeks of tense negotiation over the exclusive streaming rights to the controversial animated series, a deal has finally been struck between Paramount and South Park's creators, Matt Stone and Trey Parker. According to the Los Angeles Times, Paramount has agreed to pay $1.5 billion (£1.1 billion) for the global streaming rights to the satirical cartoon. While the paperwork is reportedly yet to be finalised, it's claimed that the studio has agreed to a five-year deal which will see Paramount pay Matt and Trey's production company $300 million (£222 million) a year for the rights to the show. Matt and Trey will also allegedly produce ten new episodes a year for Paramount Plus. The news will come as sweet relief to South Park fans who've been concerned about the show's future. Earlier this month, South Park disappeared from streaming services outside the US as Paramount and Warner Bros tussled over streaming rights. The show's sudden disappearance unsurprisingly prompted outrage from fans, with some even threatening to cancel their Paramount Plus subscriptions. Paramount had previously licensed South Park to HBO Max in 2019, but that deal came to an end in June 2025. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Supposedly, Paramount was keen to co-license the show with Warner Bros, but talks collapsed, forcing Paramount to go it alone. Insiders close to the deal have claimed Paramount wanted an agreement in place before July 23, when South Park season 27 was due to premiere on Comedy Central. Season 27 has already been delayed once following complications brought about by the impending merger between Paramount and Skydance Media. The Simpsons (1989 – Present) – 790 episodes Crusader Rabbit (1950 – 1959) – 455 episodes Family Guy (1999 – Present) – 444 episodes Teen Titans Go! (2013 – Present) – 426 episodes American Dad! (2005 – Present) – 388 episodes South Park (1997 – Present) – 328 episodes SpongeBob SquarePants (1998 – Present) – 321 episodes Bob's Burgers (2011 – Present) – 292 episodes The Loud House (2016 – Present) – 286 episodes Adventure Time (2010 – 2018) – 283 episodes According to The Hollywood Reporter, Trey and Matt were close to agreeing on a $3 billion (£2.2 billion) deal with Paramount, but Skydance weren't happy with the expense. More Trending In response, the official 'South Park' X/Twitter account released a statement from Parker and Stone: 'This merger is a sh*tshow and it's f*king up South Park,' they wrote. 'We are at the studio working on new episodes, and we hope the fans get to see them somehow.' Metro has contacted Paramount, Matt Stone, and Trey Parker for comment. Got a story?

Can South Park save Paramount Plus?
Can South Park save Paramount Plus? With a $1.5 billion five-year deal to lock the irreverent show down and take it away from HBO Max, the streaming service clearly thinks so. Paramonut Plus is steadily gaining subscribers, but lags behind rivals when it comes to the most popular content, and securing South Park might just help. And hey, if it distracts from stories about its troubled Skydance merger and payouts to Trump, that can't hurt either, right?
